Hello people! I started my first custom keyboard project recently and now on the designing step, while I wait all of parts to arrive (it will take a long time due to where I live
)
So, I inspired by the Moonlander and Ergodox Infinity keyboards, now designing combination of two. So I asked myself- should I keep F buttons on the top, or it worth to get rid of it and learn to work with function layer?
Looking forward to know your opinions and experience.
Here is how the design is going now:
It drawn pretty simplistic and sketchy, because its just for me to understand how to draw a blueprints for CNC plates. Its inspired by old school cyberpunk industrial style.
To give you a close vibes it will have, here is the back cover of my Ghost in the Shell book:
Keyboard will be similar, but with silver aluminum instead of black. Also will have transparent bottom, to show internals (will solder it nicely, so it will look good, I hope) And it will stand on aluminum plates.
Hope it was interesting to you.
